Master Thomas Daw is 10th Dan black belt at only 30 years old. Some of his accomplishments include:

Creator of Daw Ryu, Orange Dragon Karate, Universal Karate and United Kingdom Karate. Each style recognized internationally. Master Thomas has blended elements of Kung Fu and other styles to create new arts that are more practical for the modern world. An expert in Kuang Ping Yang Tai chi and effective teacher of Chi Kung.

Received first black belt was in GTF Tae kwon Do at the age of 16 (1999), where he was assistant Instructor, student of the year, demo team member and three time gold medalist at local tournaments. Master Thomas correctly saw no future in his Tae kwon Do and also did Lau Gar and Wing Chun Kung Fu for a while. After this, Master Thomas did American Kenpo Karate before joining the SKKA, VKA and the IMMAA societies. It was no surprise that when Master Thomas approached Doryoku Ryu for a job as assistant teacher he was told he was over-qualified.

After years of intense training Master Thomas became a multiple black belt and sash, in styles such as Snake Fist Karate,Praying Mantis Kung Fu, Shorinkenjitsu, Total protection System and Kan Balam Kung Fu to name a few.

Over 20 years of weapons training and teaching in the tonfa, knife, kamas, nunchucku and more.

A certified knife Master and Kamas Instructor.

Voted 2011 student of the year again under the VKA.

Let's get a few things straight:
This is Thomas Daw's FIRST THREAD or mention on Bullshido.

Hypocrisy:
1)Face to face?

You want people to say things to your face, but you post a video instead of contacting someone like you did with your fellow BACKSCRATCHING PAY FOR RANK idiot Israel Velez III?

2) Fat?
Thomas Daw
Israel Velez III

3) Frauds and know nothing about Martial Arts?
Whether you respect the styles or not we Have A Black Belt Judoka, A Professional Fighter, BJJ Brown Belt, BJJ Purple Belt, A Third Degree Black McDjo Instructor, a Black Belt Aikido Instructor, A Black Belt TKD Monk, and various other staff members. We won't mention the three, four with the one who stepped down, who are or have served in the military. All of their ranks have been vetted and aren't from proven hucksters like these two idiots:http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=109842http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=80770

4) WTF is this ****?

5) Talk **** about you behind your back?

Thomas Daw 10th Dan awarded in 2012 by SKKA and GIVEN 8th Dan Snake fist Karate in 2010 by Brett Ernest, Grand Master of Snake Fist Karate and co founder of MFMA. I had to put this just to silence the Bullshido, mma, ufc and facebook martial arts pretenders and wannabes. You are not welcome to join us.

"If you can get these courses you won't believe it at first. Then you'll realise what you have. Swallow your pride and join the revolution."

When is the last time you confronted someone doing MMA or competing in the UFC? No, videos are not face to face.

Do us all a favor and make a video defining "real." When you have online video rank, online rank associations and never meet most of the people you rank, the last thing you want to do is call people frauds.

I've been mulling over the idea of filiming a documentary where I see how many "black belts" I can "earn" off the internet in 1 year. Unfortunately, the limiting factor seems to be money. Maybe someday...

First of all, this is a GREAT idea.

Second, the Bob Yoder investigation is turning up a lot of places that give out ranks free so long as you provide certification of existing rank and/or finish the online program.

It has been suggested, but it was basically argued down. Even for proof, it gives them funds to continue their crap. The idead was pushed to side in favor of research and proving their rank either lower, pay for play or fraudulent. We have a few threads where people have paid for the rank. If I remember correctly, a guy received Vale Tudo rank from Ashida Kim.

Actually, HungryJoe has a HUGE thread with quite a number of circle jerk operations.
